One for @benjy14 I think. Agree it does look rather like a museum-sized layout scene, Keith. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendell1976 Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Here's a picture of a Amtrak train in Tolland, Colorado. The westbound California Zephyr is slowly moving up a 2% grade towards the Moffat Tunnel in the midst of some gold aspens. Tolland is about 50 road-miles(80 road-kilometers) west-northwest of Denver. https://www.railpictures.net/photo/751617/ Wendell Idaho, USA 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wendell1976 Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 Here's a beautiful picture of a Union Pacific Railroad train in suburban Wondervu, Colorado.

Jeff_W Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 CSX L411-19 just south of Sanders, Kentucky on CSX's LCL Subdivision back in February. This was one of the spots on the LCL I wanted to try with a drone. L411 is a local job, or turn, as it leaves Worthville, Kentucky early most mornings and runs to Queensgate Yard in Cincinnati about 60 miles to the north, before returning south late mornings/early afternoons. The power for the job has been a trio of EMD SD40 variants, as of late it's been this trio of two SD40-2s and one SD40-3. If you watch the Covington,KY camera on Virtual Railfan/YouTube, you'll see this train go by most mornings between 7-9am local time, and as of this post, still with the same power.
